Hey everyone,
Just finished the game solo. (They better not force people to mingle with others in order to beat bosses as what I read about the Act 2 coming soon..) I mostly play these Diablo-like (well, this one is a mashup of it and copying path of exile skill tree)..
Anyway, back on topic: 20 hours gameplay. Went to lvl 19, all my 8 skills max to 20. I mostly play mage-classes. Tried Rogue dual-weild daggers (since I got a Unique dagger lvl 5 drop) and.. well.. I'm used to willpower versus rage, so I had to add a melee spear-rage-generating skill to my character. (and yes I like going pure so having to mix.. oh well..)
So yeah, OP, I guess you just need practice.. Have you played other games? I used to play FFXIV and all in all, you just need to understand the mechanics of the bosses. Pierce is a must when he's getting low when he summons minions.. you need to kill them and hit the boss!! For me it was more of a Kiting thingy, not my cup of tea, but hey, took me 3 times (8 if you consider 3 chances before dying, almost died but killed it.)
This game still has bugs, I will try to mention some (like the boss skill that entraps, he teleported me out of the ring..) and not including the lock animation where you dish damage but.. all you see if the monsters staying static.. and then.. and then.. you're dead.. GRRRRR!!!
Don't give up OP; What I despise, I got a freaking Legendary Flametongue (as a magic-user.. duh..) which makes me thing they made it so the drops will work against your class (you might get some, but the % will be even lower than other classes) Look up Wolcen team: I've got pros and cons to list you soon, but this ain't one ;)
See you in the game perhaps!! For those Tanks that might need some glass cannons.. (Hunter + 1 Spell Projectile for the win!!) ^^
